John Rustan


1930's.
In this light hearted tale of attempted murder on a banana plantation in South America.
in the British potboiler a la Monty Python style, three bumbling upper class twits attempt to solve a gaggle of murder attempts.
"Illegitimate triplets, poisoned crumpets, unregistered Liberian freighters and ancient Siamese bone china all work themselves into the silliest of funny plots."
— Pacesetter/Highlander
"A double barreled blast of pure nonsensical comedy."
— Los Angeles Times
